Brie has the bridge, Haydon there as well.02:14:21: <LtBrieJayde> Me, bridge? Oh goody02:14:47: <Capt_Crow> ?s ?02:14:51: <LtBrieJayde> Nada02:15:09: <ChanceCrow> ::sigh:: fine...02:15:29: <Capt_Crow> BEGIN02:15:47: <Capt_Crow> 4ACTION: :::incoming hail from Starfleet Command::02:16:09: <LtBrieJayde> ::Glances up at the sound of the hail:: Who’s calling us now?02:17:12: <ChanceCrow> ::leaning against a far wall, no expression on his face::02:17:55: <Banks> ::looks back at Chance, then to the Captain:: As you can see your hunch was correct. Someone travelled to that world not long ago and has not left.02:18:21: <Capt_Crow> ::nod:: Thank you...both for figuring that out.02:18:53: <Capt_Crow> Helm> Ma'am, it's Starfleet Command.02:19:08: <LtBrieJayde> ::Pinches the bridge of her nose:: Put it through.02:21:03: <Capt_Crow> 6+Admiral Nelson> Lieutenant, is Captain Crow available?02:21:46: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks at Admiral Nelson:: I don’t believe so, sir. He’s in a meeting.02:22:06: <Capt_Crow> 6+Admiral Nelson> Well get him out of the meeting. We have a situation.02:22:33: <LtBrieJayde> ::Frowns:: Yes, sir. ::Taps her combadge:: Captain Crow, report to the bridge.02:23:28: <ChanceCrow> ::raises a brow, but slightly amused::02:23:30: <Capt_Crow> ::Looks up at the two of them.:: That doesn't sound good. :::Leads them out:::02:23:42: <ChanceCrow> ::...at the order::02:23:46: <Capt_Crow> What is...oh...Admiral.02:24:01: <Banks> ::followed, sidestepped when he stopped short::02:24:28: <LtBrieJayde> ::Gets up out of the big chair and steps aside:: Admiral call for you, sir. I said you were in a meeting but…02:24:35: <ChanceCrow> ::brings up the rear, stopping just far enough to let the doors close behind him::02:24:54: <LtBrieJayde> ((Haydon busy with family at the moment ))02:25:03: <Capt_Crow> +Admiral Nelson> Captain we have received a distress call from a Morovian cruiser. They're not that far from you and we need you to assist them on their way.02:25:26: <LtBrieJayde> ::Mumbles to herself:: And I couldn’t be told this?02:25:32: <LtJG-HaydonMalaan> (( oh I'm here just a little slower to respond))02:25:43: <LtBrieJayde> ((Or that))02:25:46: <Capt_Crow> Sir, we're on our way to complete a mission.....02:26:14: <Capt_Crow> +Admiral Nelson> Your mission will have to wait. The Morovians are going to be our newest Federation members and we want to extend every courtesy, correct?02:26:34: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks at the others::02:26:44: <Capt_Crow> Understood.02:26:52: <Capt_Crow> +Admiral Nelson> Thank you. We'll send you the coordinates.02:27:08: <Capt_Crow> ::::as the video feed cut out, his expression said it all:::02:27:26: <ChanceCrow> ::stills, surprised at the response::02:27:34: <Capt_Crow> Helm> Captain, ETA to the cruiser is eight hours in the direction we just came from.02:27:47: <LtBrieJayde> I wasn’t told anything other than to get you out of the meeting sir. ::Looks to helm:: Oh just what we need..02:28:14: <Capt_Crow> Set course, maximum warp.02:28:16: <Capt_Crow> Helm> Aye sir.02:28:19: <ChanceCrow> We can't...02:28:46: <Capt_Crow> I am aware.02:29:02: <LtBrieJayde> So we’re going eight hours the other direction?02:29:45: <Banks> We're following our orders.02:29:57: <LtBrieJayde> ::Eyes the captain::02:29:58: <Banks> Suspect as they may be.02:30:11: <Capt_Crow> ::he nodded to Banks, sharing her concern::02:30:13: <ChanceCrow> ::comes around from the back of the bridge:: Are you serious? You're giving up, just like that?02:30:31: <Capt_Crow> I'm not giving up on anything.02:30:55: <LtBrieJayde> You better not be thinking of going off on your own while we all do this rescue mission.02:31:13: <Capt_Crow> ::His eyes went to Brie:::02:31:38: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks at the captain::02:32:09: <Capt_Crow> We will handle this, quickly, then get back on track.02:32:11: <ChanceCrow> ::one huff:: If we're turning around, you already did.02:32:37: <Capt_Crow> :::his gaze moved to Chance::02:32:48: <LtBrieJayde> But that’s eight hours the wrong way!02:32:58: <Banks> Come on. ::she gave Chance a nudge towards the lift:02:33:06: <ChanceCrow> ::he just shook his head:: I can't believe you.02:33:09: <Capt_Crow> You think I don't know that?02:33:24: <LtBrieJayde> ::Swears under her breath and goes back to tactical::02:34:16: <Capt_Crow> 4ACTION: EIGHT HOURS LATER THEY ARRIVE ON THE SCENE OF THE OTHER SHIP DEAD IN THE WATER. IT HAD BEEN A MISERABLE EIGHT HOURS ON THE MERC::02:34:37: <Capt_Crow> ::In the center chair:: Open a channel to them and lets see what's going on.02:34:49: <ChanceCrow> <<any of us in different positions?>>02:35:00: <Capt_Crow> (chance would probably have gone to SB)02:35:18: <ChanceCrow> <<not the brig, eh? >>02:35:19: <LtBrieJayde> ::Runs tactical scans of the ship:: Well, dead in the water for sure.02:35:32: <Capt_Crow> Helm> Channel open.02:36:00: <Capt_Crow> This is Captain Crow of the Mercutio. We've been ordered to help you. What's your situation?02:36:51: <Capt_Crow> 4Action: The ship's commander appeared. Humanoid, looking kinda like a sloth in its features::02:37:07: <LtBrieJayde> ::Looks up at the viewscreen, eyebrow raised::02:37:26: <Capt_Crow> +Commander> Thank....you.....Captain.....Crow. ::it spoke as slow as you might expect::02:37:43: <ChanceCrow> ::in Sickbay, in an office, still pissed off::02:37:52: <Banks> ::sitting at the back of the bridge, elbows on the consol holding up her head:: I don't believe this.02:38:12: <LtBrieJayde> ::Quietly:: You have to be kidding...02:38:25: <Capt_Crow> +Commander> We...have....been....awaiting....your....arrivial.02:38:36: <Capt_Crow> ?02:38:36: <Capt_Crow> Yes, yes we figured. What about your problem.02:39:27: <Capt_Crow> +Commander> We....have....been...without....power....for....eighteen....hours.02:39:40: <LtBrieJayde> Eighteen?02:40:00: <Banks> ::to Brie:: Don't.02:40:23: <Capt_Crow> +Commander> ....Yes.....for....the....past....eighteen....hours....we....have....been.....without...power.02:40:29: <Banks> Told ya.02:40:46: <LtBrieJayde> It is a valid question.. ::Eyes Banks, then frowns at the answer:: Okay, I’ll shut my mouth.02:41:00: <Banks> ::smirk::02:41:16: <Capt_Crow> Okay we'll figure this out. ::motions to cut the feed:::02:41:33: <Capt_Crow> ::pinches his nose:: Can we reboot them system to system?02:42:14: <LtBrieJayde> ::Checks the system compatibilty::02:42:15: <Banks> ::slips off the bridge::02:42:30: <Capt_Crow> ::Compatibility matches up:::02:42:42: <LtBrieJayde> I think we can, sir.02:43:00: <Capt_Crow> Please connect us to their computer and give them a jump start.02:43:33: <LtBrieJayde> Already on it ::Going through the commands, making sure the other system cooperates::02:43:55: <Banks> ::Strolls into sickbay and stands in the doorway to his office:: We're dealing with a rodent with a speech impediment.02:44:47: <Capt_Crow> ::it'd bothered him:: Lieutenant, m apologies for my earlier tone. Nobody likes having the brass yank on chains on this of all days.02:45:36: <LtBrieJayde> ::Shakes her head:: I was snappy as well. I already had the brass, though my sister, try to figure out what we were up to on our mission.02:45:45: <ChanceCrow> ::he looked over at her, still upset, and not catching everything she said:: What!?02:45:56: <Capt_Crow> What?02:46:24: <Banks> These people are like giant rodents and they talk.....real.....slow.02:46:35: <Banks> Said they'd been down for eighteen hours.02:46:37: <LtBrieJayde> My sister is in Starfleet Command, likely close to captain rank by now, but still a commander. They were using her to get to me to see what was going on. Passed me some information I’m not sure I believe on where Zimm possibly is.02:46:57: <LtBrieJayde> Frankly, she didn’t even believe the information she was giving me.02:47:03: <Capt_Crow> Did you mention anything to her?02:47:21: <LtBrieJayde> ::Shakes head:: Told her I can’t, she didn’t push the matter. She knows better.02:47:30: <Capt_Crow> Thank you.02:47:45: <LtBrieJayde> Stays in the family. ::Gives a small smile::02:48:09: <LtBrieJayde> ::Checks the work:: I think all we need is to give the jump start now.02:48:16: <ChanceCrow> You've got to be kidding me.02:48:31: <Banks> So if they've been down that long why did we get the call ten hours later?02:48:44: <Capt_Crow> ::nod::: Good.02:49:05: <LtBrieJayde> Their system is a bit slow but, considering who they are? I’m surprised it is as fast as it is. Ready on your mark.02:49:19: <ChanceCrow> I've got a better question. Why did we even take it?02:49:22: <Capt_Crow> Do it.02:49:28: <LtBrieJayde> ::Hits the magic button::02:50:19: <Banks> ACTION: The ship came back to life deck by deck.02:50:24: <Banks> Helm> Incoming hail.02:50:32: <Capt_Crow> Put it on screen02:50:33: <LtBrieJayde> Well would you look at that, all lit up.02:50:54: <Capt_Crow> +Commander> Thank....you.....Captain....My people.....have ....an ....old ....story.....02:51:00: <Capt_Crow> ::looks at Brie with a dry look:::02:51:03: <LtBrieJayde> ::Whispers:: Oh no..02:51:21: <Banks> He had to follow orders but you're so damn angry at him you can't see the forest for the trees.02:51:41: <Capt_Crow> Set course, get us out of here and cut that off.02:51:53: <Capt_Crow> Helm> ::grin:: Aye. :::does so:::02:52:01: <LtBrieJayde> ::Cuts the com channel quickly and lets helm do the rest::02:52:32: <LtBrieJayde> They can call us rude but, we don’t have that kinda time.02:52:52: <Capt_Crow> By the time they finish calling us that I'll be retired.02:53:21: <LtBrieJayde> ::Smirks:: Now we have eight hours to get back where we were.. ::Sighs::02:54:10: <Capt_Crow> Yes....::he sat in the chair:02:55:34: <LtBrieJayde> ::Watches the captain carefully:: Sir, maybe you should get some rest while we fly. I don’t mind staying up here.02:55:51: <ChanceCrow> ::stands up:: You bet I'm angry! He's been on countless special ops teams, which, by the way, has led to this point, and this ship's mission is secret ops, and yet he barely tried to get out of that. He could have if he'd tried harder.02:57:02: <Banks> Whoever has your mother set us up. We're an hour away and we get the distress call mission after they sat there for ten hours?02:57:27: <Capt_Crow> You're already past your shift and you have a little one who misses his mother.02:57:45: <LtBrieJayde> ::Frowns:: You’ve got little ones too though.02:58:08: <Capt_Crow> :::he drummed his fingers on the chair:: I haven't told them.02:58:25: <LtBrieJayde> You..what? You haven’t?02:58:27: <Capt_Crow> Helm> ::looks over his shoulder, then back straight ahead:::02:59:40: <Capt_Crow> Chance suggested...forcefully....that I tell Karissa and Karina the truth about Edra missing. I balked at it, saying it'd only scare them and he said that maybe I was the one afraid to tell them this is my fault.03:00:19: <ChanceCrow> Yeah, this guy who's trying to get back at him. This is all happening because of what he's done.03:00:28: <Capt_Crow> And when I'm back in my quarters I can't look them in the face.03:00:33: <LtBrieJayde> ::Sits back:: So, don’t tell them that part. Just..I don’t know. But you can’t keep them in the dark, it isn’t fair to them, especially with how upset everyone is on board.03:01:06: <Capt_Crow> I know...::he sighed:: so I stay in there...:he jerked a thumb to the RR:; and let Banks and Chance watch them.03:01:37: <Banks> If you want to blame him you can. You may even be right. But you're not helping.03:02:16: <LtBrieJayde> That isn’t fair to them. What would Edra say to you doing this? They don’t have her on board, so they need their father. They’ll catch on eventually that something is wrong.03:02:38: <Capt_Crow> He said that too. Karina will piece it together.03:03:02: <LtBrieJayde> He’s likely right. She might have already even, but without you there, she won’t say anything I’m betting.03:04:08: <ChanceCrow> ::shakes his head:: What I'm doing doesn't seem to matter.03:04:49: <Capt_Crow> I know. Everything I do lately is wrong.03:05:18: <LtBrieJayde> ::Shakes her head:: No, it isn’t. I don’t see anything you’ve done wrong. None of our heads are in the right places right now, trust me.03:05:34: <Banks> Since when do you sulk?03:06:24: <Capt_Crow> Thank you, Lieutenant.03:06:40: <LtBrieJayde> ::Nods:: Any time.03:07:14: <Capt_Crow> ::stands:: Come on. The next shift can watch the warp field.03:07:47: <LtBrieJayde> ::Stands and follows:: I think I’m good with that. Doubt I’ll sleep any but..I’ve got that information my sister sent me to pour over.03:08:19: <Capt_Crow> If anything looks legit we'll investigate.03:08:44: <LtBrieJayde> Thank you, sir. If I see anything, I’ll send it your way.03:08:52: <ChanceCrow> Since the woman who is largely responsible for me being who I am today is on some godforsaken planet is suffering from Prophets-know-what!03:09:12: <ChanceCrow> ::he blinked a couple times and turned away::03:10:17: <Banks> :::She shook her head and left him there:::03:12:31: <ChanceCrow> ::when he didn't hear any further comments, he turned and found he was by himself. He looked for something to throw, but nothing was readily available, which was probably good for that object...::03:15:13: <Capt_Crow> END03:15:41: <LtBrieJayde> Well now, sloth people..huh..03:15:54: <ChanceCrow> heh...03:16:25: <Capt_Crow> we'll.....meet.....them.....again03:16:31: <LtBrieJayde> No!!03:16:35: <LtBrieJayde> ::Smirks::03:16:36: <ChanceCrow> lol03:17:13: <Capt_Crow> well next week will have a little more action03:17:31: <LtBrieJayde> Yay 03:17:51: <LtBrieJayde> 9 hours between sims?03:18:03: <Capt_Crow> yes03:18:07: <Capt_Crow> we will be in orbit of the world03:18:08: <LtBrieJayde> Thought so03:18:37: <Capt_Crow> but who knows who we'll find03:18:52: <LtBrieJayde> Oh goody03:19:27: <Capt_Crow> does the XO have anything?03:19:53: <ChanceCrow> uh....nope03:20:22: <Banks> dismissed then
